Oct 31【每日活水】竭力负起维护生命的责任

 

出埃及记21:28~36

物主的责任
28「牛若触死男人或是女人,总要用石头打死那牛,却不可吃它的肉;牛的主人可算无罪。 
29倘若那牛素来是触人的,有人报告了牛主,他竟不把牛拴着,以致把男人或是女人触死,就要用石头打死那牛,牛主也必治死。 
30若罚他赎的价银,他必照所罚的赎他的命。 
31牛无论触了人的儿子或是女儿,必照这例办理。 
32牛若触了奴仆或是婢女,必将银子三十舍客勒给他们的主人,也要用石头把牛打死。
33「人若敞着井口,或挖井不遮盖,有牛或驴掉在里头, 
34井主要拿钱赔还本主人,死牲畜要归自己。
35「这人的牛若伤了那人的牛,以至于死,他们要卖了活牛,平分价值,也要平分死牛。 
36人若知道这牛素来是触人的,主人竟不把牛拴着,他必要以牛还牛,死牛要归自己。」
28“If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible. 
29If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death. 
30However, if payment is demanded, the owner may redeem his life by the payment of whatever is demanded. 
31This law also applies if the bull gores a son or daughter. 
32If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull is to be stoned to death.
33“If anyone uncovers a pit or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 
34the one who opened the pit must pay the owner for the loss and take the dead animal in exchange.
35“If anyone’s bull injures someone else’s bull and it dies, the two parties are to sell the live one and divide both the money and the dead animal equally. 
36However, if it was known that the bull had the habit of goring, yet the owner did not keep it penned up, the owner must pay, animal for animal, and take the dead animal in exchange.
 

内容观察

1.牛若抵死了人,要如何处置?(28节)

2.牛若是向来抵人的,主人却不将其栓好,要如何处置? (29—30节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.牲畜若伤了人的性命,就要用石头打死的原因是什么?
 

个人感受

4.看到夺走他人性命的, SHEN 必要求偿还,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾在无意间伤害到他人?

6.为了尊重生命,负起维护生命和灵魂的责任,我决定要怎么做?

用石头打死(28节):可见,以命换命的原则,就连动物也不例外。
虽然受过警告(29节):指主人被警告要栓好会抵人的牲畜。

灵/修指南

今天的经/文谈到牛将人抵死时适用的刑罚标准。牛若抵死了人,就要用石头将其打死(28节);若是主人明知牛有抵人的习惯,却没有予以约束,牛伤人时,主人和牛都要受到刑罚(29节);此外,经/文也详细论述了牛伤害男孩和女孩、奴仆和婢女的情形。这表明 SHEN 的律/法,尤其是尊重他人生命的生命法,不仅适用于人,也同样适用于牲畜,因为人的生命是无可取代的。 SHEN 明确规定,在任何环境下都要尊重他人的生命,不可放任自己的所有物伤害他人的性命。盼望我们能够将 SHEN 的话铭刻在心,时时尊重他人的生命,竭力负起维护生命的责任,活出MEN TU的样式。
 

内室dao告

愿我尊重每一个生命,竭力负起维护生命的责任。
